Lot # 512 - MARK ANTONY, with JULIUS CAESAR. Denarius (43 BC). Military mint traveling with Antony in Cisalpine Gaul. Posthumous Caesar issue. Obv: M ANTO IMP R P C. Bare head of Antony right; lituus to left.Rev: CAESAR DIC. Head of Caesar right; capis to left.Crawford 488/2; CRI 123; RBW -.Following the assassination of Julius Caesar (44 BC), the city celebrated the feat of the conspirators who had ended the dictator's life. Mark Antony, by reading the deceased's will and delivering an eloquent speech, managed to win to his side the Roman people, forcing the Caesaricides to leave Rome, but allowing Brutus to move to Mantua where he gained control of Gallia Comata. The political scene changed when Octavian, Caesar's great-nephew, came to power. Using his family name and wanting to get revenge for his dad, he got a lot of support in the Senate and pushed for tougher measures against Caesar's killers. Antony then moved against Brutus and started the siege of Modena, but he lost more and more support in the Senate, partly because of Cicero's Philippics, and was declared a “public enemy.” This led to a confrontation between the armies of Antony and Octavian at Modena, where the two consuls, Hirtius and Pansa, lost their lives. Octavian won the battle but eventually made peace with Antony. This agreement led to the creation of the Second Triumvirate (43 BC) together with the Magister Equitum, Marcus Lepidus. Unlike the First Triumvirate, the Second was a genuine political office lasting five years and approved by law. The triumvirs drew up a list of citizens believed to be Caesar's killers or their accomplices and brutally restored order in Rome. This denarius, which also bears Caesar's portrait, is intended to remind the people of Antony's role alongside the beloved dictator and his commitment to avenging his assassination.

Unlike the First Triumvirate, the Second was a genuine political office lasting five years and approved by law. The triumvirs drew up a list of citizens believed to be Caesar's killers or their accomplices and brutally restored order in Rome, then turned their attention to Greece, where Sextus Pompey (son of Pompey the Great) had gathered an army. The Caesaricides were defeated at Philippi in 42 BC, and Brutus and Cassius killed themselves to avoid capture. Following these events, the triumvirs were finally able to divide up the empire: Octavian secured the West, Antony the East, and Lepidus Africa. This denarius was struck during that period of truce, bearing the portraits of both Antony and Octavian, before the events that led to the breakdown of this alliance and the Battle of Actium.

Lot # 520 - MARK ANTONY and CLEOPATRA (34 BC). Denarius. Military Mint traveling with M. Antony. Obv: ANTONI ARMENIA DEVICTA. Bare head of Mark Antony right; Armenian tiara to left.Rev: CLEOPATRAE REGINAE REGVM FILIORVM REGVM. Diademed and draped bust of Cleopatra right; to lower right, prow right.Crawford 543/1; CRI 345; RBW 1832.Cleopatra VII, the last queen of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt, was described by sources as an excellent political strategist, clever and cultured. She was always committed to maintaining the independence of her kingdom in the face of the growing threat of Roman expansion and knew how to use her charisma to build alliances and consolidate her power, first with Caesar and then with Antony. Her union with Antony was not only a bond of love, but also a strategic alliance that aimed to strengthen the positions of both against internal and external enemies. They met officially for the first time in 41 BC, when Antony, eager to strengthen his position in the East, summoned the queen to Tarsus. Cleopatra, trying to impress the Roman general, arrived in the city with a lavish procession, displaying all the symbols of Egyptian power and wealth. The queen presented herself as the reincarnation of Isis, using a symbolic and cultural strategy that deeply fascinated Antony. Antony then followed Cleopatra to Egypt, where he spent several months at her side, strengthening their bond. Their relationship scandalized Rome, where it was considered inappropriate for a Roman general to be influenced by a foreign queen, especially at a time of political crisis. The bond between Antony and Cleopatra grew even stronger when their children, Alexander Helios and Cleopatra Selene, were born, symbolizing the alliance between Rome and Egypt. However, tensions with Rome were mounting: Octavian, eager to consolidate his power, used their relationship to paint Antony as a traitor, accusing him of wanting to divide the Empire to create an eastern kingdom with Cleopatra. This denarius was struck in 34 BC when Antony, returning from his campaign in Armenia, celebrated his triumph with the entire royal family in Alexandria. Cleopatra, who had already received substantial concessions and territories, was proclaimed queen of Egypt, Cyprus, Libya, and part of Syria. Her son Ptolemy XV (Caesarion) was associated with his mother in the government of these territories with the title of “King of Kings.” The sons she had with Antony received Armenia, the territories of the Parthians, Cyrenaica, Libya, and Cilicia. The legend on this coin names Cleopatra “REGINAE REGUM [MATRI] FILIORUM REGUM” (= Queen of Kings and of her Sons, being Kings). The portrait of Antony is associated with the Armenian crown, recalling the victory achieved and the triumph over Armenia. In 32 BC, tensions between Antony and Octavian erupted into open conflict. Cleopatra sided with Antony, supporting him with troops and resources, and the two fought together in the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. However, the battle ended in disastrous defeat for the pair, who were forced to retreat to Alexandria. In 30 BC, when Octavian's troops arrived at the gates of Alexandria, Antony took his own life. Cleopatra, captured by Octavian, attempted to negotiate the safety of her children and her kingdom, but soon realized that she would be taken to Rome as a prisoner and chose to take her own life, probably with the poison of an asp.

Lot # 524 - OCTAVIAN (30-29 BC). GOLD Aureus. Uncertain Italian mint, possibly Rome. Obv: Bare head right.Rev: IMP - CAESAR. Victory standing facing on globe, head left, with wings spread, holding wreath and vexillum over shoulder.RIC² 268; CRI 417; Calicó 205.This aureus was struck between 29 and 27 BC after the victory over Mark Antony at Actium. Octavian declared war on Cleopatra in 32 BC and also on Antony, who stood up for the queen, fighting against his own country. On this occasion, Octavian got full dictatorial powers from the Senate, but only for the duration of the war. After the victory at Actium, Antony and Cleopatra killed themselves to avoid falling into enemy hands, and Octavian also ordered the killing of Caesarion, who was said to be Caesar's son, and had Egypt given to him as an imperial province. He thus obtained the rich treasure of the Ptolemies, which enabled him to pay off many war debts and reward veterans of numerous battles by granting them colonies within the empire. This earned him their unconditional support, which was probably more important than that of the senators. At this point, Octavian's victory was definitive and total, extending to all the provinces and borders of the empire, as emphasized by the reverse side of the aureus, which shows a synthesis between ‘Orbis terrarum’ and Victory, holding a crown and a military banner instead of the classic palm branch.
